Hi all,
        I am having win-xp proff. installed. I am using visual studio 2005
for my work. When I log in with an administrator rights I am able to open &
make a new website by selecting asp.net website, location: HTTP,
http://localhost/websitename , language:visual basic. but when i log in as a
user it is giving me error msg stating that " unable to create folder images"
etc. Also when I open IIS MMC console I am not able to see the default
website.
And the same thing happens when the domain user logs in.
So can anyone tell me what rights I should give local user & domain user so
that they would be able to run visual studio 2005 without an error.
Is it IIS in which I should grant them rights.
Please help me to solve this problem.

Does the user account you're using have write permissions to the websitename
structure?

Only admins can use the IIS MMC to view/change settings.

I think you need to grant them rights in the underlying folder structure, I
think the IIS permissions are overlayed on top of those.
